Tokyo Electron Ltd (TEL) P12XL Map Format

The TEL P12XL outputs a group of files containing the wafer map data.

<wafer_name>.DA
FORM.DA
LOT.DA
<wafer_name>.RMP

This prober supports wafers up to 300 mm in diameter. The binary map format for the P12XL can differ from that of the earlier P8 series of probers in order to support a larger number of devices on the wafer.
